[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9417617, member: 18"] No, they aren't. That's just hippy bollocks. The Great Pyramids were built by normal humans. IN THE EARLY BRONZE AGE. Not even in the Neolithic. If you mean the structures in Middle Earth, so what? That doesn't make you able to built that simply cannot be built with Neolithic technology. I think what you're trying to express is that the Numenoreans were in the late Iron Age, in terms of their culture and technology. But you seem to think that Neolithic is simply a fixed time period or something. Furthermore, the Great Pyramids are extremely impressive but[I] relatively[/I] simple structures. Being able to build them absolutely does not mean you can build structures like those described in Middle-Earth, nor FACTORIES, which you seem to be studiously attempting to avoid. Further still, we'd find ruins of all these structures if they'd existed as recently as the Neolithic. You simply couldn't erase that from the archaeological record. No, it wouldn't. Absolutely not. Especially not in a European-style climate, where Mesolithic tended to end later and the Neolithic to start later and finish later. [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic[/URL] What do you even think the Neolithic is? [/QUOTE]
